Description
The Pyramid Butterflyfish is a beautiful, brightly colored saltwater fish. It is named for its unique black and white color pattern, which forms a triangle, or pyramid shape, on its side. It is a popular choice for home aquariums due to its striking appearance and peaceful nature.
Reef Safe
With caution. While they are generally peaceful, they can nip at soft and stony corals and clam mantles.
Environment
Pyramid Butterflyfish prefer a well-lit aquarium with plenty of hiding places. They need good water movement and high-quality water conditions. They are not great swimmers, so they prefer areas with less current.
Behavior
Pyramid Butterflyfish are generally peaceful and get along well with other species. They are schooling fish and prefer to be kept in groups. They can be shy and may hide when first introduced to a new environment, but will become more active and outgoing as they become comfortable.
